Abstract/OtherAbstract:
BACKGROUND: Intracranial dissections have been associated with baroreceptor reflex failure. When this occurs labile hypertension may be observed with its own complications, including but not limited to the clinico-radiographic entity, posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES).
METHODS: Case report and literature review.
RESULTS: We describe a case of carotid dissection resulting in PRES.
CONCLUSIONS: We believe failure of the baroreceptor reflex due to carotid dissection resulted in hypertension and subsequent posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome.
